Chapter 543: Awaiting

Ten days later, the sun rays shone across the land. People had their clothes fully drenched in sweat after simply being out in the sun for just a while.

The empress, Xi Wanya, Zong Shen, Qing Ping, Gong Zheng, Ren Baqian and many of the winged cavalry warriors were waiting in the forest at the hillside.

“It’s too hot! It’s always either pouring or scorching!” Ren Baqian groaned while enjoying the coolness of the forest shade. They had finally made in ahead of the rebel forces after ten days of hustle.

Even though Ren Baqian had returned to Earth twice during these ten days, the sun had almost made him shed a layer of skin! Just after entering the forest, he crashed onto the ground and didn’t get up no matter what the others said.

“You’ve got to train up your body, Sir Ren!” Xi Wanya said faintly.

Besides Xi Wanya, nobody else was affected by it.

“I haven’t been training you for some time and you’ve slackened. We shall begin once we return, double the training everyday!” The empress said, looking pensive.

Ren Baqian looked at Xi Wanya with his eyes wide open, before shifting his gaze to the empress. Who did he offend this time?

You people are a bunch of respectable elders, and ordinary spirit wheels can’t even hold a candle to you.

I’m just a Man wheel expert! Man wheel expert!

How can I be compared to you?

“Your Majesty, let’s start training after I’ve master Li Fu’s [Godly Strike]!” Ren Baqian replied with an innocent look.

“Without attaining the Spirit Wheel level, there’s no way you can use your spirit. You’ll never master it!” The empress replied indistinctly.

“Your Majesty, with the incredibly amazing built and innate skill that I have, I definitely can!” Ren Baqian rolled into a sitting position and made a solemn promise.

The empress groaned lightly and couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention. She placed the robot husky beside her feet and stroked its head. In just a few steps, that husky tripped and rolled down hill.

In a flash, Qing Ping grabbed the robot husky and placed it back beside the empress. In admiration, he exclaimed, “This thing is pretty interesting. The person who made this is impressive. A non-living thing could actually be made to act like it’s alive.”

All of a suddenly, the empress sent Qing Ping flying towards a tree, which had a trunk girth of a man’s hug. The tree trunk immediately snapped and fell towards the opposite direction.

Before everyone could react, Ren Baqian took a look at that robot husky. After being grabbed by Qing Ping’s large hands, its entire head became deformed..

The empress liked it pretty much, and took it along with her wherever she went.

Now that Qing Ping broke the husky, it was already quite lenient on him that the empress only sent him flying towards a tree!

“Captain Qing, your arm is too strong!” Ren Baqian laughed as he pointed at the robotic dog.

Qing Ping stood up, took a look at the dog and profusely apologized.

The empress picked up the robot dog and kneaded it a couple of times. That robotic dog was like plasticine in her hands. The dented parts immediately bulged back out, but the originally unaffected parts had instead dented in.

After kneading it a few more times, the robot husky’s head had changed beyond recognition and was completely ruined..

“Your Majesty, I’ll go back and get you two more better ones!” Ren Baqian forced a smile.

The empress finally stopped flogging the corpse after hearing that. Reluctant to part, she slammed her palm on the ground, created a pit and buried the robotic dog inside. That was so as to prevent its corpse from being exposed to the wilderness.

“Remember, I want two!” The empress lifted her head and said to Ren Baqian after she was done with the burial.

After everyone had waited in the forest for about half a day, the baihu , who were despatched out to scout earlier, returned to report. “Your Majesty and all superiors, the front line of the rebels are two hours away!”

“Continue scouting.” Ren Baqian waved his hand.

“I’ll go take a look too!” Qing Ping stood up and said.

There were still plenty of experts among the rebels. If the aboriginals were to be discovered, they would be dead meat.

With an expert overseeing, the people would feel more at ease.

“Thank you!” Ren Baqian cupped his fists.

He turned his head and looked at Lin Qiaole, who was soundly sleeping on top of a rock nearby. The lights rays peered through the branches and leaves and the light fragments scattered over her body.

“150,000 people. Everyone simply has to kill 200 of them, chicken feat!” Gong Zheng counted with his fingers, and surprisingly, he actually got the numbers right. Ren Baqian wanted to commend Gong Zheng on his mathematical ability.

“Those aren’t 200 black pimps!” Ren Baqian casually replied. The wild boars in this world were called black pimps.

One winged cavalry warrior against 200 ordinary soldiers could be considered a simple task.

However, if 700 winged cavalry warriors were to face a 150,000 man army, there would definitely be casualties.

A quantitative change could give rise to a qualitative change.

“200 black pimps are really not to be trifled with!” Gong Zheng laughed. Those creatures were around four meters tall and weighed a few tons. Along with their coarse skin, thick flesh and rampaging nature, they really weren’t push-arounds when they came in numbers.

“Those elephant soldiers of the rebels stand no nonsense as well!” Ren Baqian added.

“With those things that you have, Sir Ren, it’s no problem at all!” Gong Zheng laughed as he slapped his thighs. He then turned his head towards the people below and shouted, “Do another round of inspection and utilize these last moments of rest time.”

Ren Baqian gave it some thought. With every soldier equipped with eight grenades and two flash bombs, there shouldn’t be any problem with their enemies.

“Spread out the grenades when you throw them, and you must not throw them like a swarm of bees. It’s too wasteful.” Ren Baqian couldn’t help but said.

“Understood!”

“Later on, the winged cavalry will split into seven groups of 100. They will then attack simultaneously from seven different positions and sever the enemy’s marching array!

The main objective is the leader of the rebels. Once they are located, Xi Wanya and Zong Shen will be responsible for taking his head.

If any experts appear, I will naturally take action. After that, the enemies will be routed. You will then clear up the enemies in the surrounding. Take their flesh and blood slowly, there’s no need to stake it all. Especially when you meet with large groups of defeated soldiers, you must immediately fall back after launching a strike and continue wandering around the perimeter. When you see a window of opportunity, launch a death blow.

Ultimately, try to herd them towards the same direction. If they were to escape in multiple directions, it would be troublesome to find them.”

The empress gave her orders. This was the tactic that they had looked into throughout the journey.

Of course, such wolfpack tactics weren’t in line with the fighting habits that the aboriginals were used to. However, thinking about the pathetic number of winged cavalry warriors left at present, everyone felt that this method was worth a try.

Another hour had passed, the winged cavalry had split up into groups and hid on top of trees or places with cover.

Every group of winged cavalry was 200 meters apart.

The rebels’ mounted scouts then arrived. However, they didn’t expect that the aboriginals had actually received intelligence and got ahead of them. What they were worried about were their soldiers behind and not the blockade ahead. As such, the mounted scouts simply checked out the situation a little and returned to report.

The empress sat on a branch around seven meters high with both legs dangling in the air, feeling a little bored. Ren Baqian held onto her ankles and fluttered in the wind like a hanged person.

“Are you coming up or not?” The empress lowered her head and looked at Ren Baqian.

“The field of vision here is great!” Ren Baqian drew an arc in the air with his body as the empress dangled her legs. He suddenly thought of a song, “Let us Paddle our Oars!”

However, the field of vision there was indeed very good. It just happened that he was able to peek through the gaps between the branches and leaves and see the path below clearly, while the empress couldn’t see anything from her position. From Ren Baqian’s position, the empress’s legs was pressed against the branch and he didn’t have any view looking up.

Presently beneath them, an army was advancing forward under the hot sun with heavy footsteps.

The rebels’ morale had hit rock bottom, after suffering defeat and being on the move for many days consecutively.

An army of 150,000 soldiers lined up unbroken for several kilometers. Only the front of the army could been seen, the rear end was out of sight.

The aboriginals stayed in wait till dusk, and only half of the rebels had passed. They were all exactly at the lateral side of the rebel army’s mid section.

However, the leader of the rebels was still nowhere in sight.

Ren Baqian swung his body upwards from beneath the branch and released his grip from the empress’s legs. She got hold of his arm in mid air and pulled him in to sit down beside her.

“Your Majesty, do we continue to wait, or adopt another set tactics?” Ren Baqian asked.

They had previously anticipated two scenarios. In the first scenario, the rebels’ leader couldn’t be located. The aboriginals would then rush in for a round of killing and retreat, and not continue fighting zealously! That was to prevent any unnecessary casualties!

It was just like hunting a powerful beast from the mountains, deplete their blood and energy bit by bit. It would take another five days of journey by foot to reach Da Yun Ze, which would be sufficient to bleed them dry!

Everyone hoped that the second scenario would happen. As previously mentioned, locate the rebels’ leader and take his head. Thereafter, attack the remaining rebels in waves, before eventually chasing for kills.

“I’m hungry!” The empress looked at Ren Baqian.

Ren Baqian handily reached into his waist pouch, took out a Snickers bar and placed it in her hands.

“Your Majesty, first have some sweets as appetizer!”

On the next tree, Lin Qiaole was immediately alerted. In one step, she leapt onto the tree where Ren Baqian and the empress were. She hugged the tree trunk, and looked at Ren Baqian’s waist pouch with bright eyes.

“Inform Gong Zheng not to act blindly. Do some investigation when night falls.” The empress instructed after taking the Snickers bar.

Ren Baqian grabbed a bunch of sweets and handed them to Lin Qiaole, “Heard that?”

Lin Qiaole first put a piece of sweet into her mouth, before stuffing the rest into her chest, which had indeed boosted her flat chest quite a bit.
